It's down to the wire now, the boys are feeling good and there is a lot of excitement at having made the semi-final stage of the IPL again, says the Chennai Super Kings coach.

Kolkata have some good all-rounders, and they are batting well at the moment. Brendon, Hussey and Hodge are all dangerous players and we will be watching out for them at the top of the order, says the Chennai Super Kings coach.

We are that much closer to making it to the final, and we are feeling very confident, and I'm sure that if we keep playing the way we are, we will get there, says the Chennai Super Kings coach.

The Warne-Murali match-up will be another exciting aspect of the game tomorrow, and it's only a competition like the IPL that bring together two world class competitors like them, writes the Chennai Super Kings coach.

The boys are feeling pretty good and confidence is high. We have been planning and tossing the team around and we are close to getting the best side together, feels the Chennai Super Kings coach.

In India, the pitches are truer and quicker, but the late season here has made the pitches surprisingly slow and firm which has probably aided them, says the former New Zealand skipper.

We just need to tweak our game slightly and bowl better at the death and not give away too many runs. If we manage that, we can start turning things around, starting on Saturday itself, feels the Chennai Super Kings coach.

Even though we will miss playing in India and the ambience at the Chepauk, we are all very excited about being here and the good facilities and quality wickets make it a great country to host a cricketing extravaganza of this kind, says the former New Zealand skipper.
